A class to handle several states in a lock-free manner.
Requirement:
    - a "current" state
    - several possible "pending" state
    - an TrySwitchState(int state) operation to atomically switch a "pending" to the "current" state (the pending becomes the current).
    The TrySwitchState operation returns a "current" state (either the same if switch fails or the new one, one can know if the switch has succeeded)
    - a WriteNextStartState(int state) returns a "pending" state to be written into
    - a WriteNextStartStop(int state) make the written "pending" state become "switchable"
    Different pending states can be written independantly and concurrently.
    GetCurrentIndex() *must* return an increasing value to be able to check reading current state coherency
    The fCounter is an array of indexes to access the current and 3 different "pending" states.
      WriteNextStateStart(int index) must return a valid state to be written into, and must invalidate state "index" ==> cur state switch.
      WriteNextStateStop(int index) makes the "index" state become "switchable" with the current state.
      TrySwitchState(int index) must detect that pending state is a new state, and does the switch
      ReadCurrentState() must return the state
      GetCurrentIndex() must return an index increased each new switch.
      WriteNextStateStart(int index1) and WriteNextStateStart(int index2) can be interleaved
